This year we decided to go to the store and pick out a girl and boy onesie (same size, same brand, same price, etc. just in case we had to look at the receipt for some reason) and have the cashier read the letter that said the gender, and only ring up the appropriate one. She then wrapped it in (no joke!) 13 bags so we couldn't see any colors through the bag.
We then got home, placed the bags in a box, and wrapped it. And then had to wait for 2 excruciating days while that box sat under the tree.
I have never wanted to find out something so much in my entire life!
I was fully expecting, and somewhat wanting, a girl. The rest of my family was divided (Mimi, Tia and Isabella thought it was a girl while Pops, Uncle G and Daddy said Boy). I will say, Jon was leaning towards girl but at the last minute changed his mind and said while he wanted a girl, he had a feeling it was a boy.
Either way, we unwrapped our present and got the biggest surprise!

| This was right after I explained to the girls what we were doing, and Bella got really concerned that the baby was in the box! She asked if she was ok, and if she was wiggling in there! |
 |
| This was the moment it sunk in, we were actually having a boy, and we said NOOOO WAY....it's a BOY!!!! |
 |
| This was the moment where Isabella started to cry saying she wanted a baby sister! |
A BOY!!!!
We are beyond thrilled and can't wait to see our little baby boy! This is definitely a game changer with us and our family. He will be the first little boy on my side of the family (I don't even have any boy cousins or anything!). But, BOY oh BOY are we excited!!
Time to go pick out little boy clothes and fun things, because we know pink and ruffles and princess dresses have overtaken our lives over the last 3 years! Little BOY Lerma, we can't wait to meet you!!
